FFS.. you're being told by someone in your neighbourhood and by someone 15 mins west of you that there's something to see if you leave the desk, yet you won't move.. yet you've got the audacity to complain when it doesn't explode over your house? For goodness' sake mate. We're trying to help you out, but you're not taking it. Not only that, you complain when it doesn't get to you.. I can't make any sense of it at all! The sad thing is, I really do care... and would love to help you see the stuff you want to see - people were very, very patient - answered my stupid questions and pointed me in the direction of places I can go to read and learn and in doing so, helped me 11 months ago and life has been grand since! I'm chomping at the bit for an opportunity to show someone else, but you really make it hard when you seem reluctant to help yourself, which is why I'm posting in such an exacerbated tone.
As i have said before, due to health and financial reasons, I dont have a car, nor have a licence - just a learners permit i had to renew after it ran out after 10+ years....so the best i can do is walk around my own suburb...which can be a bit hairy as i joked about in my post as my nearby park, although dark...(for lightning seeking) is often home to a few drunk ferals at night...i dont really want to meet up with
I've just been for a walk and i cant see a single thing even up at boronia rd, streetlights just drown anything out.
I really dont think i have done anything wrong, just asked a few questions about whether triggers were there or not, expressed frustration (which is fair) when many of us wanted storms at night and it was dying each day on dusk ..(which has been explained to me why it was doing so as i was also curious why this happened)
so please dont make me out to be someone who is difficult or wont help themselves, or whatever.....I'd love to be storm chasing, I am a professional film and television camera person and have heaps of gear i would love to be making use of for getting storm material...but for reasons beyond my control i am stuck here where i live...so i hope that clears why i am asking often about chances of storms here and sorry if it Pour some people off...
btw, I've been on this forum since day 1, and also the original WZ forums for over 10 years, yes a great bunch of people and its how i have learnt so much about the weather..and radars! etc
